Data analyzed by covariance analysis, Pearson r, analysis of variance with repeated measures, dependent t test. There was statistical significant difference between means of two groups in all stages of instruction (happiness: Eta= 24/0), (cognitive style: Eta=0/ 31). In follow-up stage, experimental group show higher happiness and cognitive style. Hypotheses of research accepted. There was relationship between cognitive style (0/57) and Separate Style (0/47) and increasing happiness level. In addition, there was negative meaningful relationship (with 0/99 confidence) between emotional style (-0/41) & avoidant style (-0/35) and decreasing happiness. Happiness and cognitive coping style of experimental group increased after participate to instruction. Using more from cognitive and separate style will result to higher happiness level. Using more from emotional and avoidant style will result to lower happiness level.
